Shocking Accident.

A sad and sickening accident oc-
Cured On Sunday afternoon on G. P.

June. left on the train on Friday eve
ming, doubtless full of life and ambition,
it being his second trip as brakeman.
All went we'll until the train was reach

il entered a covered bridge spanning
the Humboldt River. At this time, the
unfortunate man happened TO be stand

not room for an upright pOstnr etween

Ohugg was instantly dashed from the
car as the bridge came into contact
with him. death being instantaneous.
This is the most shocking accident
which has occurred in this section for
some time. There is a horrible cash
reaching right into the head from the
front, while the sides OF the head and
face present fTightful aspect, and the
shoulder is smashed with the fall. A
HERALD reporter visited the residence
of the dec5 ased mans brother, Mr..
George Chugg, conductor on the Utah
Central, ard was informed hat law
suit may result, as be thinks it is little
short of cFiminality on the part of the
railway company in allowing such a
structure to exist. Although there are
many conjectures as to the cause of
death, there is no question in the miud
of Mr.. George Chugg but that his
brother came by his death in the manner
we have indicated. The funeral services
will be held to-morraw morning at II
O'Clock, on Seventh street, between
Young and Smith.

INDIANAPOLIS, Ind, Aug. 19-Many COM
plants continue to come from southern In
diana regarding the White Caps and other
kindred lawless combinations. A gentleman
from the district afflicted by the White Caps
was here Thursday. He says that the pub
lie in this part of the state can not appreci-
ate the condition of the terrorized inhabit-
ants in some portions of the counties DOM
mated by the organization. 1t has come to
such a pass that many of the best citizens
dare not express themselves, and the gentle
man in question says that, since he hopes to
return to Orange county, he can not afford
under his own name, even at this distance, to
make complaints of the gang. On his way
out from Orange county he met farmer,
who had been prominent in the county,
who was hurrying away from the infested
district with bis family and all his portable
possessions impelled by the White Caps. who
had made one assault on him and had given
fair warning that he must be out of range
before certain time. He had been obliged
to leave his farm, and this he was trying to
sell through another. The premises had been
plundered by the outlaws

REDRESS OUTSIDE THE LAW
Is What Parnell Says Irish Tenants VIII
Look to-rhe Land Bill Debate.

LOOK t0-Ihe Land Bill Debate.
LONDON, Aug. l9.-The land bill being re-
ported to the house of commons Thursday
Balfour announced that the government ac-
cepted the lords amendment to the bill re-
lating to town parks. The amendment was
opposed by O'Doherty and Harcourt, the lat
ter accusing Balfour of gross ignorance in
asserting that no tenant has a right to town
lands It was high time he said, that the
Irish people demanded home rule, when they
find their rulers so ignorant of the principles
upon which land is held
Goschen spoke in support of the amend
ment
I. NJ Healy said that Irish towns were so
rapidly falling to decay that it was mockery
to call them towns The name @town park, !"
he said was merely dodge to enable land
lords to evsde fixing fair rent
Balfours motion to accept the amendment
was carried by vote of 206 TO l64.
The house disagreed to Balfour's motion to
accept the remaining amendments of the
house of lords, and appointed committee to
draw up statement of the reasons for such
disagreement Upon the question of accept
ing Earl Cadogan's town parks amendment
Chamberlain, jesse Ceilings and five other
Unionists voted in the negative
Gibson moved to confirm Lord Cadogan's
amendments providing that revision of rents
be based upon the difference in prices in 1887
as compared with prices prevailing from
1881 to 1885. The motion brought on a very
animated debate, but under the cloture rule
the amendments were passed-2l5 to l61.
Parnell said the government might with
4
leave the tenants to fight the matter them
selves. The tenants would not get the worst
of it, because they were certain to get a bet
ter bill within year. Tenants were disap-
pointed in parliament. and would look to
other methods of redress outside the law and
constitution, which were in the long run, the
only arguments parliament ever recognized.
